Hi, I’m Nitigya Kargeti 👋
Builder of data-intensive backends, conversational agents & quirky AI experiments
“If it’s worth building, it deserves a lineage graph and a little swagger.”
- 🎓 MS Data Science — UW-Madison → now on F-1 OPT turning raw data into agentic data systems.
- 🛠️ I blend cloud-native lakehouse ETL (BigQuery + Dataform + DuckDB + Parquet) with LLM-driven metadata-enricher agents.
- 🤖 Co-author of CHI 2025 “SET-PAIRED” (educational robotics HCI).
- 🏗️ I’m happiest when a project goes from messy CSV → automated pipeline → documented lineage dashboard.
- ⚡ Quirks: diagram-first thinker (Mermaid / Sankey / H3 maps), ruthless about code readability, loves witty commit messages.
| Repo | What you’ll see / Why it’s cool |
|---|---|
| Conversational AI Portfolio | My AI-mode portfolio site — chat with my resume, hybrid search, live on ntropy.dev |
| Chicago Crimes | Crime-forecasting & hotspot analytics with medallion lakehouse + H3 hex-maps (app) |
| Codeforces Calendar | Contest-planner / calendar overlay that keeps competitive programmers in sync |
| BCI Music Programming | Brain-computer interface + music — mapping EEG signals → live sound/control |
| Amazon Review Copilot | Semantic-search + reranker pipeline for product reviews — “ask me about obscure gadgets” |
- 🚀 Conversational Portfolio → improving context-memory & AI-Mode analytics on ntropy.dev
- 📊 Chicago Crimes App → L1→L3 ETL, interactive H3 maps, recruiter-friendly lineage dashboards
- 🧩 Metadata-Enricher Agents → porting to GCP Dataplex & Databricks Unity Catalog
- ⚡ Deep-diving GPU / CUDA kernels for quant-style inference speed-ups
- 📜 Continuously revamping READMEs & badges — story-driven repos > slide decks
- 🔥 CUDA internals & GPU optimization — bridging data-pipelines ↔ inference kernels
- 🤖 Agentic AI for Data Engineering — orchestrating column-profiling / lineage-aware agents on GCP & Databricks
- Lives by diagram-first design — if there’s no flowchart, it’s not finished.
- Maintains several JSON-driven LaTeX resume variants (SWE / DS / MLE / Researcher).
- Secret folder named
spaghetti-pipelines(don’t ask). - PR reviews often say “Great… but needs more layering.” Brutal feedback loops = love language.
